A book podcast, you say? Bah, humbug! Is there no BookTok? In our final episode of the year, Trish and Ish will try to warm your squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old heart as they discuss the Christmassiest book of all time, Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. You will be haunted by two hosts as they reference Episodes of Podcast Past, Pop Culture of Podcast Present, and Books of Podcast Yet to Come. Along the way, we visit the novella's influence on the Christmas genre, Scrooge's transformation from heartless miser to jolly old gent, and a rare sincere moment where your hosts view each other as fellow passengers to the grave. If you needed a sign to go fetch that prize turkey in the window (the one as big as you), this is it. If you listen to this episode on the way, we'll give you half a crown.
